Tarun Tejpal has been toast or untoast of Media for the last ten days.

How and when he reaches Airport,crime branch in Goa have been debated.What he converses with his brother,daughter and niece has been subject to debates.

I know my media friends will castigate me for telling an observer’s view.

The crust of the matter is too much has been penned sin on the unfortunate man and incident.Whatever media attention left was grabbed by Jollys,Sibbals,Bangus and other political party spokerspersons.The CCTV footage has fortunately been not telecast.Newspapers are fiiled with stories of bungling in company shares and connection with Ponty Chaddah.

Unfortunately the question of Women grievance commitees in case of sexual harrasment has taken backseat.Even in as early as   2004 when high profile case of a Public Sector company’s CMD was arrested  the committee was formed and then cover up was done.Nearly ten years from then it is the same old mistake.It happens in an organization where all employees are well educated,the girls in the office are well aware of rules and regulations.

Ironically one of the heads of the organization is a well known Journalist whose grip on current events is well respected.It seems that Ms.Choudhary tries to hush up things.The Girl is rightly admant ,the Editor forms a committee still tries to cajole the girl.

The workplace harrasement is a form of denying a fundamental right to a woman.Why does not National Commission on Women,Delhi Police,Goa Police,Ministry of Women take a stand.

These statuary bodies ,names of members and rights of women employees should be displayed in premises of organization is humble appeal of ब त ख 

As Sulekha.com  reported

Nalco hurriedly conducted an internal probe -- and predictably gave a clean chit to Venkataramana.But the government took serious note of the development and constituted a committee — as prescribed by the Supreme Court in cases of sexual harassment — to probe the incident.

JS Vema report presnted in 2013

On the point of the establishments to which the proposed Act shall apply the report observed “Since each and every act of sexual harassment at the workplace is a form of sex discrimination which in effect denies a woman her fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution, it is proposed that any legislation dealing with the said issue should have the widest possible application so as to take within its scope every female member of the national workforce. Therefore, any legislation must apply to all government institutions, all public bodies, all panchayats, all establishments covered under the Factories Act and the Industrial Disputes Act and all employers in the private sector who are not otherwise covered by the categories listed above.”
